Esterbrook Camden Composition Fountain Pen Spring Break Green
Esterbrook is one of the greatest names in American pen history. Founded in 1858, by their peak they were making 216 million pens a year. Unfortunately, as the market changed, Esterbrook went out of business in 1971. Now they're back, though, with the name brought back and the designs reinvented by Kenro Industries, who have plenty of experience of bringing back or continuing famous pen brands.
The Camden Composition is named after two things: the town where Esterbrook started and the traditional Composition notebook, which arrived in America from France in 1887. The Camden's classically simple styling has been given a makeover with a marbled Composition finish, with a contrasting rhodium trim. It's an interesting homage to the art of scholastic note-taking.
There's a bit of spring to push against as you re-cap the pen, as the insert that seals around the nib unit pushes gently back, so it makes a good seal - this helps prevent the ink drying out if you don't use it for a while, and making it safer to use with more concentrated inks.
150mm long capped, 130mm uncapped, 171mm posted - though it's a little risky to use posted, as the same spring mechanism that helps form a good seal when capped tends to try to throw the cap off! 15mm wide, 9.5mm at grip, weighs 32g.
Supplied in a nice cloth gift box, ink cartridge, and converter. Uses standard international cartridges so you'll always have plenty of ink choices.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
